So, what's R12 about? Over-Using Reflections - That's what creates visual immersion. It's a little bit "cheating" but especially with Ray-Tracing the best way to create awesome graphics.

• Smooth Stone Texture (+ Smooth Stone Slabs)
• Iron Block Texture
• Tweaked Gold Block Texture
• Redstone Lamp Textures
• Lantern(small) Textures (+ hanging)
• Orange concrete (people wanted the style of the R1 yellow concrete back. It's strange but has a lot of awesome uses)
• Diamond sword Texture (not really finished, wanted to test some sword-shapes)
• Spruce Log Texture (a quick practice on non-PBR texturing)
• Improved how sword item-models display  (thickness, positon, rotation etc.)
  

HOW DO I MAKE MY MINECRAFT BUILDS HAVE BETTER GRAPHICS?

It makes me a bit sad when people just load my textures into the game and expect that their survival-world suddenly looks good. That's not the focus of these Textures. My Textures are all about building stuff that shows off how technically advanced this game and shaders have become. In my videos, I try to inspire you to build abstract things, experiment, play around! Don't try to build houses all the time! Instead, build sculptures with a focus on light, shadows, reflections....  In my Videos I want to create this "WOW that's actually minecraft?"- effect and I'm so grateful that I can be part of this "movement" and literally millions of people see my content on my own and other's youtube channels.

My Textures aren't about the individual blocks/textures. It's all about how YOU use them and how these blocks interact in a build: how they interact with eachother, with light, shadows, reflections,... Only when you focus on this, you start to notice how good the graphics are. But it requires a little bit of effort on your side, but this is alot of fun!

SOMETHING I'D REALLY LIKE TO TALK ABOUT:

Earlier this year, I started my youtube channel to show Seus PTGI to the world, long before the hype. I made my own textures for it to show off the true power of the Shader. I never intended to create a "full" resource pack, simply because nobody of you could run it. Each Texture I add, makes performance worse, obviously.   

Why are we humans so focused on an end-goal? Everyone saying "When the pack is finished it will be so great"        - No it won't!    Stop waiting!

"The Golden Age" of these new Minecraft graphics is RIGHT NOW!

Right now everyone is impressed and realises how minecraft is suddenly transforming. Although gameplay is so much more important than graphics, ironically Minecraft suddenly has one of the best graphics in any game. Right now. Enjoy it! Build! Design!  Start a YouTube channel!  Share Screenshots, whatsoever   :)
